I feel VIOLATED, upset, Exhausted, ConFuseD, A-N-G-R-Y, and determined!

Just Dance!

Warning: Two of the following three comic strips might spoil your meal;p

And they are especially for Do0da (and maybe ThePurg):)

When I get myself into a friendship, I always assume that it's going to last until one of us faces Judgement Day. I don't know about other people, but that's how I think. I'm usually good at keeping in touch with people I love and consider friends. BUT.. I have a question: What if you aren't like that, if you assume that one of your friendships won't last forever, would you care about that other person even if it was temporary? (I was asked this early this morning, and it kind of upset me.)

I hate being misunderstood by people who know me well.

I hate being belittled or seeing someone being belittled.

I hate being shut off by someone I love.

I hate being disrespected for expressing my opinion.

I hate being unaccepted for being myself.

I hate not knowing how to act around people I should be comfortable around.

I hate not being able to express myself to be understood.

I'd rather shut up than say something that isn't me.

I'd rather be told how people perceive me than have them frustrated forever.

I love a good laugh.

I love being complimented.

I love being understood without having to explain.

I love how things are alright when I'm around someone I love.

I love being emotionally safe.

I love my life.

I love myself.

S, I miss having those with you outside the grocery store in the winter.. You're still 4 popsicles behind:)

I just got back from a party, so excuse the ramble.

Today, a friend of mine lent me a complete audio file of the second rally that I couldn't go to. Thank you 7Q;* I sat in the department's corridor, and I listened. I couldn't help but remember all the people that keep saying that there is no hope for our country. That it will be overwhelmed by narrow-mindedness and uniformity. The people who spoke at the rally are people that are making a difference. And we all can. Even by having blogs to express our opinions, we are making a difference. There are silent readers at home who are reading these very words. Our country is our pride. What would we be without the identity it gives us? We would be nothing without its history. Why not fight for it? I know people who keep saying, "Why should we show up at a rally? It's just talk.. Kalam fathi men ghair action!" Excuse you! Your presence makes a difference, and if you can't understand that then... Well, then madry I'm sorry you feel that it doesn't! Ya nass, hathi deeratna. This is our home. The home of our kids ba3ad. Don't you want the best for it? Do not let the claws of the monstrous e9la7 in disguise close around it. You know what scares me? Has anyone read The Giver? 1984? Persepolis (2)? Reading Lolita in Tehran? Anything about the uniformity of people and people being punished for being themselves? This is what will happen if things go wrong. Not only that, our people will focus on our differences and forget everything we have in common. I love my country. And I see hope in our future. Our generation will make a difference. It will. To answer the question in White Wings' header, there is light. And it will become brighter with time:)

Sou, thanks for a fun class. I felt like he wanted to strangle us both;p

Ya nass! I feel weird. It's the first time ever that I get this feeling. I feel empty, but I also feel that my heart is full to the brim. I'm sentimental, moody, and bitchy, but I'm still myself. I think I'm developing my Mr. Hyde or something. And I don't feel like blogging what I was going to blog about anymore;S

*Rolls Eyes*

No finger pointing, I HATE how discussions on Mughniah and Hezballah are going. Will people calm down and respect each other's opinions?! ;S

---

I don't know why, but lately, I don't feel like I've been appreciating my friends and telling them I love them like I used to. I'm feeling a bit strange these days. So, HAJS, A, Aj, R, and my jam3a buddies, you guys are the best. 7adi a7ebkum;*

I'm such a hug person. For those of you who think I'm cold and don't have feelings, maybe I just don't like you. Anyway, so I hug my friends when I see them for the first time that day. Sometimes, when I hug someone, and someone I don't know that well or don't like very much is with them, I choose not to hug them. Ya3ni mala da3i I get all huggy with someone I don't like. So, is that rude? Hugging someone and greeting someone else with them with a mere "Hi"? I seriously can't hug people I don't like. I have issues. A7es ena I'm making them feel that I like them when I really don't. So, 3adi sa7?

Today is the first day of torture after three weeks of bliss. I'm killing myself this semester with seven classes, but I couldn't drop anything because the classes are all taught by the professors of my choice. Unfortunately, I only have one literature class;(

It's great being back home on the @#!$*& (to ensure that I am not stalked;p). Everyone is just the way I left them which is good. I've been told I lost weight so YAY!

My Statistics professor 7ada mu sij! Nikta hal ensan.. Umbaih he's a very old man: bends over, gray hairs, thick glasses, etc. He GIGGLES, people! GIGGLES! It's just too funny. Quoting him,

"Ana di elsana el28 leya b gam3et elkuweet. Yeb2a ana mush 2ad aboki, ana 2ad gedek! E7taremi nafsek w e7taremi elragul eli byou2af 2o9adek!"

"Mush banat mekyaj, eli howa elmake up. Kanu banat 3elm fe3lan!"

"Eli 2a3detli 2odam w 3amlatli a7mar zay keda *points four fingers at his mouth* ka2enaha makla om ewlad`ha yeb2a tukhrug bara!"

7ada comic relief! Thank goodness;p

Onto more important topics, what's up with shameless girls? I don't understand them! Ya3ni okay a guy turns you down, why are you still after him?! For example, and this a true example, guy is with girl for three years. Her family is okay with him and all. Suddenly, he's in college, and he doesn't want to be with her anymore. He even tells her mom, "Khalti ana mabi bentich!"

What does the girl do? Does she slap him around and tell him to go to hell? Does she remind him that he will never find someone better than her? Does she pretend he never existed in her life and move on? Does she save her pride and dignity and let the bum bask in his guilt?

.

NO! She stalks him! "Adeg 3alaik ma etred 3alay.." Get the hint! Come on, sheno ya3ni? You'd think his continuing rejections and put downs would stop her, but ham NO! Prepare yourself for the schock... Ready? SHE LITERALLY BEGGED HIM ON HER KNEES!

Laish?! I will never understand! He doesn't want her anymore. Mu ghaseb! Laish she makes herself worthless? Laish mu fahma ena if she ignores him, he might run after her? Why make a fool out of yourself when you can save face and do better?

...And why go around telling everyone your story? Mu fashla? Wa7ed 7agrich wentay tarketheen wara..

I don't care what other people say, but in my opinion, these girls are a shame to the entire female race!

The Virgin Suicides

[UPDATE] The Dream Dealer is great... for kids. We are eleven adults, but it is a change. I'm pleasantly surprised to know that I'm acquainted with five cast memebers. One of them a dear friend. The disppointment is that none of them told me about the musical. I heard from someone else.

The story is an extremely good one. The Dream Dealer himself, the devil in disguise, is a great idea. The story definitely teaches children a lot, and the cast put a lot of effort in getting the plot across to the kids. The live music, colorful costumes, energetic movement on stage, and interesting plot keeps adults awake.

"The lady who made the show possible" is one of my drama teachers back in the day. Another surprise.

For those who simply cannot bring themselves down to being a child, you should learn how to;p

I shall update:)

Golf, anyone?

Falantan and Suspic have both recently posted about anonymity, and I feel like writing my take on things.

First of all, I'm anonymous to most fellow bloggers; however, people I know personally know of and read my blog as well. When I came up with my first post, I had my blog's URL in my personal message on MSN. I decided that I didn't really care what other people thought of my thoughts, opinions, life, etc. I'm not hiding myself. If one of the bloggers or a random stranger figures out who I am from this blog, I won't freak out, but I won't post my full name and pictures either. Those who know me personally, know that I am as expressive in real life as I am on this blog. I blog because I like to write, to share humor, with hope that my opinion on certain topics makes a difference, to keep in touch with people whom I've shamefully neglected due to life, and for many othe reasons.

Of course, not being anonymous to some people has affected me both positively and negatively. On one hand, I have people who read my blog but don't comment. They express their thoughts on what they've read in college, at gatherings, and on MSN. So, it gives me something interesting to discuss. Also, no compliments intended;p, I feel like most bloggers are giving me hope of a better world. Despite our differences, we seem to get along easily. By differences, I mean our arguments, disagreements, and opinions. Blogs seem to provide a familiar ground for us to communicate and discuss things without absurd social ties and assumptions. On the other hand, I've been disrespected by people who know who I am. I understand that my opinion might not be accepted by everyone, but I do not understand why it cannot be respected. I also hoped that everyone would be able to comment freely by disabling the comment moderation feature, but I'm disappointed that some people prefer to discuss things one on one and sometimes I feel violated by the way in which I've been perceived.

Poshlust is meant to trigger honest discussions and house them for other people to see. I don't know. Maybe some day those who prefer to launch vicious verbal attacks will come out of their shells and comment whether anonymously or not.

Thanks, you guys:)
